POTUSA and Chickens

Before we go to the chicken preview and subsequent naming submissions one quick deviation from the normal blog schedule. Last night The presidents of the United states of America came and performed for Sundown in the City, K-town's free concert series. Man they were awesome and they are very good crowd entertainers as well as musicians. I hope they come back. I'm buying their new album today to support them. Here are some clips from the night...

Peaches anyone?



Boll weevil Get out of your home and down to Sundown...





How about some old classics?




I was able to make my way to the front of the crowd by the middle of the show, brave multiple crowd surfers and mini moshes unscathed. I think my success in navigating through the crowd had something to do with the Sidi shoes and cleats I was wearing but it's just a hunch. If these guys ever come around again I will make it a point to go see them. Best Sundown I've seen yet.


And now the chickens....

First Up- The Americanas- These ladies come in a variety of colors and we have 1 white, 2 brown and 1 grey version. They lay green eggs! So I'm buying ham when these ladies lay their first. (grey not pictured)
The Barred Rock- These ladies are the most consistent layers and will hopefully help compensate for the others who aren't as regular. Some of these chickens have to pay their rent. We have four of these ladies...

And Finally the goofiest of the litter. The Polish Hens. These fro laden chickens are not only goofy looking , but also have good entertainment value as they can't see very well. They are really just for show but will lay occasionally. For some reason the wife bought 6 of these so we got lots of goofiness around the house.
Our chickens enjoy their afternoons eating bugs and anything that is smaller then them that moves in our backyard. Boogy has taken to a shepherd's position and is guarding the flock well from predators, most importantly the neighbor's army of cats.
